Recruiting studies in Connecticut
- NCT04775537Recruiting
OssiMend bone graft for lumbar spine fusion surgery
This trial studies whether OssiMend bone graft helps heal a lumbar spine fusion for people whose disc disease has not improved with non-surgical care. It may be an option if you need back surgery due to specific spine wear-and-tear changes.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04770571Enrolling by invitation
Study of posterior neck and upper-back spine fixation systems
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04418830Enrolling by invitation
Study of a spine cage implant for degenerative back problems
This trial studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05329129Recruiting
Spine surgery registry to track recovery with bone graft
This study follows people who are having spinal fusion surgery using an OssDsign bone graft. It collects health and scan information over time to better understand recovery and outcomes after surgery.
New Britian, ConnecticutAges 21 years+ - NCT05037968Recruiting
Test bone graft materials for multi-level back fusion surgery
This trial compares two bone-graft materials to help bones heal after back fusion surgery using a rod/screw system. It may help people who have ongoing back or leg pain despite at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04689854Enrolling by invitation
Cervical spine surgery implant study for neck disc problems
This trial studies specific neck (cervical) spine implants used during surgery for degenerative disc disease or neck instability, along with a particular kind of bone grafting and supporting hardware. It may help patients by testing whether these devices and the planned fusion approach work safely and effectively in real-world surgery.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT03649490Enrolling by invitation
Testing new spinal implant materials for XLIF fusion
This study compares different advanced materials used in a specific spinal fusion surgery (XLIF). It aims to see which implant material helps the bone fuse well and safely over time.

What taking part in a degenerative disc disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there degenerative disc disease clinical trials in Connecticut?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 7 recruiting degenerative disc disease studies with a site in Connecticut, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a degenerative disc disease study in Connecticut?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Connecticut to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Connecticut, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a degenerative disc disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New degenerative disc disease studies open in Connecticut regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
